Honestly, I would rather do that than be a mindless sheep 
controlled by some dictator/Borg.  Seriously.

But it's not likely to happen, because your statement above is 
flawed/wrong anyway.  I don't agree that there's a "good chance" 
we'll wipe ourselves out in a major nuclear conflict.

A society that takes no risks doesn't last very long.
